Venus - Triple Calendar Moonphase - 230142 - Άνδρες - 1960-1969

Ο Venus Triple Calendar Moonphase είναι ένα ιδιαίτερα χαρακτηριστικό vintage ρολόι που συνδυάζει ένα από τα πιο elegant περιπλέκτα στοιχεία στην παραδοσιακή Ελβετική ωρολογοποιία—the moonphase display—with a complete calendar function, all presented in a beautifully balanced and refined design. Measuring 35 mm excluding the crown and approximately 36.5 mm including the crown, it retains the classic proportions of its era while remaining exceptionally wearable and elegant by modern standards. The gold-toned case, slim profile, and gracefully shaped lugs give the watch a sophisticated and distinguished presence on the wrist.

The most striking feature of this watch is its finely textured silver guilloché dial. This intricate surface creates remarkable depth as it interacts with light and is perfectly complemented by the applied gold-toned Arabic numerals and hour markers. Positioned beneath 12 o’clock, the day and month apertures provide the complete calendar function, while the blue peripheral date track and centrally mounted date hand add both practicality and visual dynamism to the dial.

At 6 o’clock, the moonphase display introduces a poetic representation of the night sky, one of the most beloved complications in classical watchmaking. Featuring a golden moon traveling across a deep blue star-filled sky, the moonphase indicator is not only aesthetically captivating but also a symbol of traditional haute horlogerie. The combination of a moonphase complication and a full calendar within a single dial significantly enhances the watch’s technical sophistication and collectability.

Mechanically, the watch is powered by a Swiss-made hand-wound Venus movement. Venus is regarded as one of the most respected movement manufacturers of the twentieth century, renowned for producing high-quality chronograph and calendar calibers. Its precisely engineered gear train, reliable calendar mechanism, and long-lasting construction have made Venus movements highly sought after by collectors. The manual-winding system creates a direct connection between the wearer and the movement, offering the pleasure and authenticity that only a traditional mechanical watch can provide.

The watch is fitted with a classic acrylic crystal, preserving its vintage character while enhancing the warmth and depth of the dial. Its elegant proportions allow it to pair effortlessly with formal attire, while its distinctive complications ensure it remains a conversation piece in any setting.

Presented in very good condition, this example stands out with its moonphase complication, full calendar function, refined guilloché dial, and Swiss-made Venus movement. More than simply a timepiece, it represents the golden age of traditional mechanical watchmaking. With its rare complications, timeless design, and strong horological appeal, it is an exceptional choice for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a truly distinctive vintage watch.
